Default brake line
Guys,
I've installed my RC BB wt shocks and look at my brake line in the rear when it's on the lift... Do I need a relocation bracket ? Is it stretching to much ???
TKS !!!

is that axel fully extended?
you might be able to get away with just fleximg the metal part of the line down a little.

but yes the safer and more reliable solution would be an extention

I don't see much that catches me off guard at first sight, but that did. I would change that ASAP.

For the time being just unhook the brake line from the frame and keep it on the road till you get new lines or a relocation bracket. Like the one teraflex carries..

Absolutely those lines need to go, or be moved

I am installing the 2.5" TF coils on my JK this weekend and I thought about getting new brake lines but it seems this process works. Just by dropping the bracket a few inches, I am going to get the needed extention so I don't snap a brake line? Is this just a cheaper alternative to upgrading brake lines?
